Validation not working using Jquery Validation plugin

I am using the jquery validation plugin for my form validation and form is inside a modal, but it is not working. Does it work with modal? or there might be a problem with my code?
Here is my javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){
// validate the comment form when it is submitted
// $("#gen_form").validate();
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
$("#gen_form").validate({
rules: {
'fname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'lname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'email': {
email: true
},
messages: {
fname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters"
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
lname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters"
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
email: "Please enter a valid email address"
}
});
});
Here is my html form (I've already added a css for error label):
<script src="{{asset('js/jquery-2.0.0.min.js')}}" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script src="{{asset('js/form-validation.js')}}" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script src="{{asset('js/jquery.validate.min.js')}}" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<form method="post" action="{{route('profile.update', ['id'=> Auth::id()])}}" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="gen_form">
{{csrf_field()}}
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel"> <b>General Information</b></h4>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group label-floating has-success">
<label class="control-label">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="lname" name="lname" value="{{$user->lname}}" />
<br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group label-floating has-success">
<label class="control-label">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="fname" name="fname" value="{{$user->fname}}" />
<p class="validations">Hello</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="form-group label-floating has-success">
<label class="control-label">Location</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="location" value="{{$user->location}}" />
</div>
</div>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel"> <b>Contact Information</b></h4>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group label-floating has-success">
<label class="control-label">Contact Number</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="contact_no" name="contact_no" value="{{$user->contact_no}}" />
<p class="validations">Hello</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group label-floating has-success">
<label class="control-label">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" value="{{$user->email}}" />
<p class="validations">Hello</p>
</div>
</div>
Do anyone here have an idea what is going on?

Your script is invalid.
Perhaps try
$(document).ready(function(){
// validate the comment form when it is submitted
// $("#gen_form").validate();
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
$("#gen_form").validate({
rules: {
'fname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'lname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'email': {
email: true
},
messages: {
fname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters",
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
lname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters",
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
email: "Please enter a valid email address"
}
}
});
});
and see if you have better luck?

I think, you have some syntax errors.
Try to do something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
// validate the comment form when it is submitted
// $("#gen_form").validate();
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
$("#gen_form").validate({
rules: {
'fname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'lname' : {
letters: true,
maxlength: 10,
minlength:2
},
'email': {
email: true
},
},
messages: {
fname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters",
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
lname: {
maxlength: "Your last name must not consist more than 40 characters",
minlength: "Your last name must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
email: "Please enter a valid email address"
}
});
});

You are missing a closing curly bracket and a comma at the end of the rules section, right before messages:
[...]
'email': {
email: true
},
}, /* <--- This one */
messages: {
fname: {
[...]

Jquery Password and confirm password validation not working Properly

I'm trying to validate new password and confirm new password. even i entered same password also it was showing an error like both password must be same. please help me where i did wrong. Below is my html and jquery code.
HTML Form
<form role="form" id="clientresetpassword" name="clientresetpassword" action="<?php echo site_url('Home/client_password_reset'); ?>" method="post" style="padding: 10px;">
<div class="row">
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Current Password <span class="mandatory"> *</span></label>
<input type="password" name="curpas" class="form-control" value="<?php echo set_value('curpas'); ?>" placeholder="Enetr Your Current password" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>New Password <span class="mandatory"> *</span></label>
<input type="text" name="newpass" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Your New Password" value="" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Confirm New Password <span class="mandatory"> *</span></label>
<input type="password" name="cnfnewpass" class="form-control" placeholder="Confirm New Password" value="" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="password" class="btn btn-primary" name="reset_password" value="Reset Password">
</div>
</form>
Jquery validation
(function($,W,D)
{
var JQUERY4U = {};
JQUERY4U.UTIL =
{
setupFormValidation: function()
{
//form validation rules
$("#clientresetpassword").validate({
rules: {
curpas: {
required: true,
minlength : 5,
maxlength : 15
},
newpass:{
required: true,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 15
},
cnfnewpass: {
required: true,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 15,
equalTo: "#newpass"
},
},
messages: {
curpas: {
required: "Please enter Password",
minlength: "Password length must be min. of 5 characters long",
maxlength: "Password length must not Exceed 15 characters"
},
newpass:{
required: "Please enter New Password",
minlength: "New Password length must be min. of 5 characters long",
maxlength: "New Password length must not Exceed 15 characters"
},
cnfnewpass: {
required: "Please enter Confirm New Password",
minlength: "Confirm New Password length must be min. of 5 characters long",
maxlength: "Confirm Password length must not Exceed 15 characters",
equalTo: "New Password and Confirm New Password must be same"
},
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
}
}
//when the dom has loaded setup form validation rules
$(D).ready(function($) {
JQUERY4U.UTIL.setupFormValidation();
});
})(jQuery, window, document);

You have to set id for a newpassword field
e.g
<input id="newpass" type="text" name="newpass" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Your New Password" value="" required>
Because you are using a id selector in jQuery validation i.e equalTo: "#newpass"

Here is the problem:
equalTo: "#newpass" // referring it by ID
but no id is provided to:
<input type="text" name="newpass" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Your New Password" value="" required>
Provide id attribute to it.

Jquery slide up function not activating in contact form script

Everything is working on this contact form except for the last bit using the slide up function to replace the contact form with a thank you message and I just can't seem to hack my way to a solution.
You fill out the form, hit submit, the email gets sent, and the loading gif appears, but the slideup animation never happens and the thank you image never shows.
<!--CONTACT PANEL-->
<div id="contact-panel">
<div class="top">: : CONTACT ME : :</div>
<form id="contactform" method="post">
<ol class="forms">
<fieldset>
<label for="name"><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" placeholder="Name:" required minlength="2" /></label>
</fieldset>
<p style="margin-top: -10px;"><label for="name" class="error"></label></p>
<fieldset>
<label for="email"><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" placeholder="Email:" required /></label>
</fieldset>
<p style="margin-top: -10px;"><label for="email" class="error"></label></p>
<fieldset>
<label for="message"><textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Question/Comments:" required ></textarea></label>
</fieldset>
<p style="margin-top: -5px;"><label for="message" class="error"></label></p>
<li class="buttons"><button type="submit" id="submitemail">Send Email »</button><input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" value="true" /></li>
</ol>
</form>
</div>
Here's the JS...
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#contactform").validate({
rules: {
name: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
message: {
required: true,
minlength: 10
},
},
messages: {
name: {
required: "*Please enter your name.",
minlength: "*Your name must consist of at least 2 characters."
},
email: "*Please enter a valid email address.",
message: "*Please, say something at least 10 characters long.",
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$('#submitemail').hide();
$("#contactform li.buttons").append('<img src="media/contact/loading.gif" alt="Loading" id="loading" />');
$.post('code/form-contact/submitcontactform.php',
$('form#contactform').serialize(),
function(data){
$("#contactform").slideUp("normal", function() {
$("#contactform").before('<img src="media/contact/contact_thankyou.png" alt="Thank You" id="thankyou" />');
});
});
},
})
return false;
});
I have tried a lot of different ways but I just don't know enough beyond guessing and trial and error. Any help would be welcomed.

I did some changes in messages json as below:
messages: {
name: {
required: "*Please enter your name.",
minlength: "*Your name must consist of at least 2 characters."
},
email:
{
email: "*Please enter a valid email address.",
required: "Please enter email address."
},
message:
{
minlength: "*Please, say something at least 10 characters long.",
required: "Please enter message"
}
},
to make it work in fiddle, I had to remove post call as jsfiddle doesn't support it:

Multiple validation in javascript/jquery/html form

I am using bootstrap3 form with jquery/javascript to validate input. This was taken from here
Here is part of my form:
<form id="contact-form" action="#" class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="name">Your Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="input-xlarge form-control" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Your Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="email">Email Address</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="input-xlarge form-control" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email">
Here is the javascript:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
errorClass: "help-block"
});
$('#contact-form').validate({
rules: {
name: {
minlength: 3,
regex: "/^[A-Za-z\']*$/",
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
subject: {
minlength: 2,
required: true
},
message: {
minlength: 2,
maxlength: 400,
required: true
}
},
highlight: function(element) {
$(element).closest('.control-group').removeClass('success').addClass('error');
},
success: function(element) {
element
.text('OK!').addClass('valid')
.closest('.control-group').removeClass('error').addClass('success');
}
});
}); // end document.ready
</script>
The required field and number of digits work wonderfully well. I also intend to add further validation, for example, accept alphabets in name field. I have tried using regex but does not seem to be working.
how to use regex (or multiple) validation in this type of javascript validation ?
how to give appropriate error message when a field has multiple validations (only alphabets and more than 3 characters) ?
I am very new to web development, so these might appear noob questions. Just getting hands on html now. Please guide in right direction.

For email you should add something like this:
$.validator.addMethod("email", function(value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,5}$/i.test(value);
}, "Invalid email address");
then rules for email should be:
email: "required email",

jQuery.validate.js equalTo refuses to work

I am trying to validate that my one password equals the other. The system keeps flagging the passwords not equal error.
Let me post my code:
<div class="fieldWrapper">
<label for="password" id="id_password">Password: </label>
<input id="id_password" type="password" placeholder="Password" name="password" maxlength="128" class="valid">
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
<label for="password_verification">Confirm:</label>
<input id="id_password_verification" type="password" placeholder="Confirm" name="password_verification" maxlength="128">
</div>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#signup-form").validate({
rules: {
password: {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
password_verification: {
required : true,
equalTo: "#id_password"
}
},
messages: {
password: {
required: "Please provide a password",
minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long"
},
password_verification: {
required: "Please enter your password again",
equalTo: "Please enter the same password as above"
},
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
});
Does anyone have any clue where I am going wrong here? Note that my form has the id signup-form.

You have dupplicate id in your HTML:
<label for="password" id="id_password">Password: </label>
remove id from the label.
